This week, Corrine Malcolm is joined by Nicole Ver Kuilen — endurance athlete, cancer survivor, advocate, and National Campaign Lead for So Every BODY Can Move — for a conversation about access, innovation, and what true inclusion in trail running really looks like. They talk about Nicole’s relationship with sport after losing her leg to bone cancer as a child, what drew her to trail running, and the very real barriers adaptive athletes still face long before they ever reach a start line.

The two also dig into Nicole’s advocacy work, her recent milestone as Salomon’s first American para athlete, and what it meant to race MaXi-Race while helping shape the future of adaptive trail running through the Salomon Adaptive Project. It’s a thoughtful conversation about representation, equipment, design, and why building a more inclusive sport starts with making movement possible in the first place.
